Key duo commit their future to Glentoran

Both players played key roles in the Glens' success last season.

Midfielder Plum quickly became an integral part of the club's midfield after joining from Croatian club Osijek scoring a number of spectacular set-piece goals before he sustained a cruciate injury in January.

Head Coach Mick McDermott is thrilled to have the midfielder back in training again and his future agreed with the club.

"Hrvoje proved his quality last season, and he also proved his passion for Glentoran FC," he told the club website.

"During his period of rehabilitation he has dedicated himself to a future at our club and we believe it is important to repay that commitment.

"I look forward to having him back on the pitch in the early part of the new season.”

O'Neill's stock continues to rise after notching 12 goals last term, including the opener in the Irish Cup final against Ballymena United.

“Paul is one of the brightest young talents in Northern Ireland," added McDermott.

"He has pace, power, quality, enthusiasm and a great eye for goal - he has a very bright future!

"More Important than his football abilities is his character. He is humble and honest at all times. A great lad!

"I always enjoy working with Paul as he has a permanent hunger to learn and a desire to compete. With consistent performances he has a future in leagues beyond our shores.”
